The Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show was on Sat­ur­day Sep­tem­ber 11, 12 2010. It is annu­ally brought to Wood­land Park, Col­orado by the Teller County Clas­sic, Cus­tom and Spe­cial Inter­est Car Club.  The show fea­tured over 200 Clas­sic Cars, Hot Rods and Mus­cle Cars.  This was the sec­ond year we pho­tographed this car show with tem­per­a­tures in the 70’s and a beau­ti­ful sunny day made for an incred­i­ble event.  In the after­noon the car own­ers went on the Poker Run to Crip­ple Creek, Col­orado.  The car show con­tin­ued on Sun­day in Crip­ple Creek.  Each photo in this gallery starts off as 5 sep­a­rate pho­tographs at 5 dif­fer­ent expo­sures and com­bined with a process called HDR or High Dynamic-Range pho­tog­ra­phy.  This allows one to see the detail in the shad­ows and high­lights.  It also has the abil­ity to cre­ate some pretty cool spe­cial effects.
